AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
First edition. Signed by the author. An interesting photobook. What appears to be photographs of dictators is actually composite images of individuals from the dictator's homeland.
一版。著者署名入り。興味深い写真集。独裁者の写真のように見えるものは、実際にはその独裁者の出身国の個人の合成画像である。
Immaculate dust wrapper over immaculate clean cream embossed hardback boards.
完璧な dustジャケットの上に、見事に滑らかなクリーム色のエンボス加工のハードカバー。
"Between November, 2007 and March, 2008, we took photographs of over 350 people in various European countries. From them emerged the thirteen FACES OF EVIL, assembled from faces of people of the same ethnic origin as the according dictators. For example, the portrait of Hitler consists of 37 people. His nose belongs to an estate agent from Berlin, his upper lip to a locksmith in Dresden. His hair is put together from the hair of an artist in Weiden and a painter in Bamberg. The chin stems from a Hamburg restaurant owner, the eyes are those of a bank advisor in Frankfurt, the lachrymal sacks are from a precision mechanic in Bautzen, the throat is that of a Viennese banker...."
「2007年11月から2008年3月の間に、私たちはヨーロッパ各国で350人以上の写真を撮影しました。その中から、13人のFACES OF EVILが現れました。これは、各独裁者と同じ民族的系統の人々の顔から構成されています。例として、Hitlerの肖像は37人の顔で成り立っています。鼻はベルリンの不動産仲介業者のもの、上唇はドレスデンの鍛冶屋のものです。髪はヴァイデンの芸術家とバンベルクの画家の髪を組み合わせたもの。あごはハンブルクのレストラン経営者のもの、目はフランクフルトの銀行アドバイザーのもの、涙嚢はバウツェンの精密機械工のもの、喉の部分はウィーンの銀行家のものです..."
So what is the point ? The artist believes dictators emerge "Because society allowed them, sometimes even encouraged them to do their evil. This suggests that a multitude of faces of active and passive accomplices stand behind the face of every dictator. Whilst everyone joins in to say "Never again!" after a reign of terror has ended, history shows that new tyrants can be allowed to rise to power again and again, in all parts of the world."
「では、狙いは何か？ アーティストは、独裁者は「社会が彼らを生み出した、時には彼らに悪事を行わせるよう促したから」と信じている。これは、積極的・受け身の共犯者の多くの顔が、あらゆる独裁者の顔の背後にあることを示唆している。テロの支配が終わった後も、誰もが「二度とない」と声を上げる一方で、歴史は新しい専制者が世界のあちこちで何度も権力へと上昇しうることを示している。」
Each of the photograph has a brief essay about the subject, in German and English.
各写真には、被写体についての短いエッセイが付されており、ドイツ語と英語の二言語。
Those featured include: Adolf Hitler, Augusto Pinochet, Joseph Stalin, Pol Pot, Idi Amin, Saddam Hussein, and Robert Mugabe.
掲載されているのは、Adolf Hitler、Augusto Pinochet、Joseph Stalin、Pol Pot、Idi Amin、Saddam Hussein、Robert Mugabe。
